Market Trends & Insights

Smart & Simple Reign

Affordable smart-enabled electronics are driving growth across EU discount retail channels. Voice assistant compatibility is now standard in mid-range speakers, plugs, and lighting.

Surge in Climate Control Demand

Prolonged heatwaves in Southern and Central Europe are driving increased demand for fans, portable AC units, and air treatment devices. Energy-efficient models with timer features are particularly popular.

Rising Trend in Mobile Power

Power banks, solar chargers, and USB-C hubs are strong sellers thanks to increased travel and hybrid working. Expect a boost in September and October during the back-to-school and office restock phase.
